Chapter 435: Food Prices Rise

Nursery rhyme sat alone in the living room and drank two cups of tea, and his mind was much clearer.

Xiao Xing already knows the news of his father-in-law, so what about the others?

I thought about it well before, and I thought it was nothing, but now that I think about it, she is also very nervous.

In March, the price of grain in Fucheng rose rapidly, and they were prepared to store grain before the nursery rhyme.

When Bai and Xiao Bai arrived at Chen's house, they inevitably talked about this topic.

"Hey, now that there is a war outside, the price of food has gone up again, and the loss is due to my mother's side, otherwise I am worried about what to do in the future."

There is some exaggeration in this, and the nursery rhyme handed Bai an orange.

"Where is it so exaggerated as you say, just save a little food for us like this, what I'm worried about is that people in other places won't be able to eat at that time, and then they will come to Fucheng again, and I panic when I think about the refugees before."

This meaning is changed to Bai's comfort nursery rhyme.

"It's only March, and it's a good time for spring ploughing, and those people won't leave their homes, unless it's a bad harvest this year."

Speaking of which, she also sneered on her face, sometimes, this person still has to accept her fate, she feels that she has just cast a good baby, she has never suffered in this life, and she is a little unhappy on the man's side, but it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and finally think about it, she is still very lucky in this life, and she can't help but smile again.

"Hey, don't say these frustrating words, I'm here to ask you for advice."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the pearl she was holding in Xiao Bai's arms, and her face was full of loving smiles.

The nursery rhyme looked over, only to see the little pearl with big round eyes, looking towards the nursery rhyme, although there was no smile, but the cuteness of the child still made the nursery rhyme have a smile on his face.

"Sister Bai, you are still polite to me, just say anything."

"Then I'm not polite to you, I came here here to see that the little pumpkin was wearing a very good look, that's all what you came up with, right?"

Listening to Bai's words, the nursery rhyme had already guessed a little bit of her intentions, and she pursed her lips and chuckled.

"Well, I'm just foolish."

Bai Shi didn't believe her words, and hurriedly took her hand and said.

"You are modest, just seeing that it will be hot in two months, you help me think of a few styles of clothes suitable for female dolls, just at that time the pearls will also climb, and the beautiful people who wear them also make people happy to see it."

The nursery rhyme came down, and it wasn't a big deal.

"Okay, leave the style of the clothes to me."

"Then it's troublesome."

Bai Shi agreed without thinking about the nursery rhyme, and she was so happy in her heart that she couldn't do it, which shows that the relationship between the two families is very good.

The three of them talked for a long time around the child before leaving.

The little pumpkin had just woken up from a nap at this time, sitting on the bed alone in a daze, Xu heard the footsteps, he turned his head to look at the nursery rhyme, and immediately grinned.

"Mother."

Tong Yao stepped forward in a good mood, hugged him, and was able to smell the smell of milk from him.

She was weaned the little pumpkin, but the family was fed a sheep, specifically for the little pumpkin to eat, perhaps because of the insistence on drinking milk, the little guy is in good health, but also let her worry a lot.

"Mother's little baby, I'm just waking up."

The little pumpkin wrapped her hands around the neck of the nursery rhyme, and her little face habitually rubbed on the nursery rhyme's chest, and then nodded.

Seeing that she could understand what she was saying, the nursery rhyme was full of satisfaction.

"Then you follow your mother and call Daddy."

The little pumpkin immediately looked up at the nursery rhyme, looking at the nursery rhyme with big dark eyes, as if to say what your father is, and no one knows how to pinch it.

Tong Yao suddenly had an urge to pinch his chubby face, but fortunately, even if it was stable, because he couldn't keep his son with one hand now.

"Daddy."

"Ahh

The little guy finally spoke, but instead of shouting with the nursery rhyme, the uncle seemed to respond, but the nursery rhyme laughed angrily, and she glared at the little guy with a tiger face.

The little guy smiled, as if he was laughing at the stupidity of the nursery rhyme.

Nursery rhyme really thinks it's so difficult for her to be a mother.

"Little pumpkin, you look at your mother, and your mother tells you to speak."

Thinking of something, she put the little pumpkin on the bed, quickly went to the dresser, and immediately took out a painting scroll.

The little pumpkin immediately climbed onto her mother's lap and sat down, and stretched out her little hand to help her mother open the painting scroll.

Looking at his little adult appearance, the nursery rhyme smiled with a smile in his eyebrows, lowered his head and kissed him on the top of his head.

At this time, she unfolded the scroll on the bed, and it was Chen Xuan who was drawing, thanks to the nursery rhyme who learned some sketches in modern times.

"Little pumpkin, do you know who the person in the painting is?"

The little pumpkin stared at it for a while, and then turned her head to look at her mother, and she was angry, but she didn't speak, and turned around and hugged the nursery rhyme tightly, and the little appearance seemed to be very disgusted with the painting.

Thinking of the joy of his father-in-law as soon as the little pumpkin was born, and now he looks at this son whose face his father doesn't recognize, and the nursery rhyme mourns for Chen Xuan in his heart.

However, she still patiently stroked the little pumpkin's back and said softly.

"The person in the painting is Daddy, you don't know, how happy your father is for your birth, his mother can't hold you when he is at home, and after a while, we will be able to see Daddy, can you make Daddy sad, follow your mother to call Daddy."

The little pumpkin rubbed the nursery rhyme, but still didn't speak, this little action is to make a temperament.

The nursery rhyme just smiled helplessly, and did not criticize him.

"It seems that our little pumpkin is angry, are you wondering why Daddy didn't come back to see our little pumpkin?"

The little pumpkin looked up at the nursery rhyme.

Obviously he is a child who is less than one and a half years old, and this action gives the nursery rhyme an illusion that this little guy knows everything, and he can understand what she says.

The nursery rhyme was pleasantly surprised, and then continued.

"It's not that Daddy won't come back, it's because Daddy has his own responsibilities, he has to go out, otherwise our little pumpkin won't be able to see the world in the future, and he left us to go to a far place, and that's for the good of our mother and son."

Originally, I wanted to tell my own children, but the more she said it, the more she said, her own eyes were red.

Suddenly, I felt the warmth in the corners of my eyes, and I saw that the little pumpkin had stood up, and a pair of fat hands wiped her face violently, as if she wanted to wipe away the tears on her face.

She hugged the little pumpkin.

A child may not understand the words of adults, but he can easily feel the emotional changes of adults, and he stands obediently and lets nursery rhymes hold him.

After a long while, the nursery rhyme mood was a little better, and when she met the bright eyes of the little pumpkin, she felt a little ashamed in her heart, and she actually cried in front of her son, but her son is still young, and he can't remember anything at all, if he is a little older, if she cries in front of her son, this son will be able to remember this matter for a long time, and then take it out and laugh at her.

"Mother, father."

The little pumpkin suddenly cried out.

The nursery rhyme's face froze, and then there was ecstasy, and her son would call him daddy.

"Little pumpkin, call Daddy again."

The little pumpkin frowned, but continued to shout obediently.

"Daddy."

The nursery rhyme kissed the little pumpkin's face.

"Mother's good son, when your father sees you, if he hears you call him father, he will definitely cry, and then my mother must remember that picture, and when I and your father are old, then I will take out this matter and laugh at him."

That being said, the tone was full of happiness.

Heyuan Village

The rise in grain prices not only caused a sensation in Fucheng, but also bad news for the croppers in the countryside who watched the sky and ate.

He Yong went back from the handicraft workshop, he was also worried, working in the handicraft workshop, he saved some silver, but this silver was not as good as the peace period during the war, and the most important thing was the food in the family.

It's just that he also looked, he walked all the way to the village, and even saw a few outsiders, at first he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, since they had a handicraft workshop here, there were many people coming and going.

But when he walked to the door of Jinshan's house, he heard Jiang's excited voice outside the courtyard.

"Twenty wen a pound of grain, our family's grain can be sold for a few taels of silver, thanks to my mouth, if you let you two lazy women go out, I'm afraid that the person who bought things said that the price is as much as the price."

Hearing this proud tone, He Yong's brows furrowed.

"Mother, let's talk to Jinshan about this grain sale, our family is not short of this money now, but I have heard many people say that the price of grain outside has risen."

It was Jinshan's daughter-in-law who spoke.

He Yong listened to Jinshan's daughter-in-law's words, his face softened a little, and there was a person in this family who understood, but he didn't wait for him to be happy for a long time, and Jinshan's daughter-in-law's voice came from the courtyard again.

"If you want me to say, we should increase the price again, and the price is twenty-five cents a catty."

He Yong only felt that a mouthful of old blood was blocked in his heart, and the stupid woman in this room was simply even more stupid than the one in his house.

Who knew that Jiang clapped his hands.

"Smart, it's okay, we didn't let them take it away today, and when they come tomorrow, I'll bargain with them."

He Yong was relieved when he heard that the food had not been taken away, although he felt that these mothers-in-law were a little stupid, but in the end, they were from a village, and Jin Shan, a descendant, was also a hard-working person, so he didn't have to be dragged down by the family, so he couldn't eat at that time.

"Lizheng."

Just now, Jin Shan trotted over from the village and greeted He Yong with a smile.
